BIG decisions

Have you ever felt like you have the biggest decision of your life lying ahead of you and you have no idea which way to go? That is me right now.

This last Saturday I received a very unexpected letter in the mail. Taylor hands me a letter and said, "It's from Weber State Nursing". My initial thought was that it was about reapplying and all the other fun junk mail that you get. Well that was not the case. The letter said I had been accepted into the Weber State Associates Degree Nursing Program, starting January 2012. I was NOT expecting this. I had given up on being a nurse. I had completely accepted a new path of life and was very happily living it.

So now what do I do?! Do I continue on the path I am on now and the choices I have made and am looking forward to OR do I go after nursing school?

If I say on this path I could be done with college in May with my Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Studies. This is SOO intriguing because I could be done! And then I could continue on with my life and the other adventures that await!

If I go to nursing school, I will cram the last 6 classes (20 credit hours) into 1 semester, graduate with my BS in December and then start nursing school in January. The drive is long, it will be extremely stressful, and it would be at least another year! So instead of graduating May 2012, it would be May 2013. But I would be able to fulfill the goal I have worked my whole college career for, the goal I have wanted as long as I can remember, to be a nurse!

I have been agonizing over this ever since I opened the letter. I have shed many tears, talked to LOTS of people, prayed, fasted, and pondered which decision to make. I still have absolutely NO IDEA what path I should take. I honestly feel like I am trying to choose between two great choices, neither decision would be bad, neither path would be a bad choice. So I keep asking what should I do? Taylor and I have talked and talked and talked, every moment we are thinking about what we should do!

I am trying to trust in the Lord and follow His will, but how do you choose between two great paths. I feel like I have to choose a path and then the Lord will support me and let me know if I am right. I will continue to pray and fast and ponder my future... hopefully I can figure it out pretty quickly!

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!! Wish me luck :)

Oh My JULY!

Happy 4th of July! I can't believe June is already over! It was a great month but went by way to fast, summer usually does. Tay and I were able to do a lot of fun things. I was in school but it went well, it was our 3rd year anniversary and that was way fun, we went to Bear Lake with friends and that was a ton of fun (pictures to come!), and my sister-in-law had a beautiful baby girl name Ann Rebecca Maxfield! She is super cute!

And then comes July. I cannot even say how busy July is going to be for us. 8 days! In July I have a total of 8 days that does not have something scheduled yet. Here is the schedule:

July 4: family and fun!
July 5th-8th: Girls Camp for me, California for Taylor
July 9th: test / Powell Prep
July 10th-17th: Lake Powell
July 19th: Ward Bridal Shower
July 20th: Family Pictures/ Young Women's
July 21st: Bridal Shower for Katelyn!
July 27th-30th: Camping with Maxfields

This does not include any of the work, call, or homework. This is going to be a very very crazy month but I am very excited for all the fun and craziness. Lets just hope we survive!
